Connection of a stand-alone TIM 4R-IE DNP3 to S7-400 / S7-400H
TIM 4R-IE DNP3 with SIMATIC S7-400 or SIMATIC S7-400H
The TIM 4R-IE DNP3 is connected to a SIMATIC S7-400 or SIMATIC S7-400H via one of
the Ethernet interfaces of the TIM. With the S7-400 / S7-400H, an Ethernet CP is used as
the interface.
Figure 4-5 SIMATIC S7-400 with TIM 4R-IE DNP3 connected over Ethernet,
1 connection to IP-based WAN or LAN,
2 connections to classic WAN, for example via MDx modems
Instead of the MDx modem, other modems with an RS-232 or RS-485 interface can also be
used, for example wireless devices.
A 3G/UMTS router SCALANCE M875 for IP-based communication via a GSM network can,
for example, be connected to the second Ethernet interface of the TIM.
Per TIM, one (1) S7-400 or S7-400H cab be connected. An H-CPU counts as 1 CPU. With
an S7-400, one (1) connection resource is required per TIM.
